Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Think about children’s portions
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

A closer look at the menu

Common questions in Kingston upon Thames
Can you do a hog roast in Canbury Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Luke?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do we need to wash up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Parking close to the house
Kingston upon Thames is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
